Chapter 83: Getting a treasure
Ye Zhongming finally relaxed when he touched the ice cold metal.
When he was getting chased by Wang Ding, the reason why he turned back to kill the Monster Baby was to confirm that the green monster would disappear with its death. The second reason was to let Yellow Ball enter the battlefield.
The summoning horn was useful on all mutated lifeforms apart from humans. Yellow Ball was no exception so Ye Zhongming didn’t let Yellow Ball follow him and placed him at a faraway place.
Until it died could he control Yellow Ball. Ye Zhongming took out a strengthened whistle to inform Yellow Ball to head over and hide around him.
At the crucial moment, this loyal dog appeared and grabbed the ghost metal, causing Wang Ding’s attempts to fail.
When Ye Zhongming fell because of exhaustion, he fell into a coma right away.
Before gathering everyone, Ye Zhongming found out from Park Xiuying about everything that happened during those four days.
Ye Zhongming was unconscious so Mo Ye brought him and the others to retreat outwards. The Chain Prisoner went mad and fired lasers, turning Pearl Lake into hell.
Many people, many zombies and mutated beings were hit and killed just like that.
Retreating under such a situation would be easier than before. After all, they weren’t surrounded by mutated life forms.
But Mo Ye and the others had three treasures and Yellow Ball had the ghost metal which made them targets.
Especially Wang Ding and Captain Ye, they only got two so they didn’t want to accept it. Wang Ding was a two star evolved and had the ghost metal snatched from him by Yellow Ball. He wouldn’t let these people go so he tried to chase them.
Apart from Wang Ding, the trio also followed them for a period of time. They realised that they didn’t have a chance so they backed off.
During these few days, Wang Ding and Captain Ye continued to chase their team. During one of the most dangerous moments, they were trapped in a building. Only after bumping into Wang Zhen’s team and after losing Chen Long did they manage to get out.
Even so, they were still getting chased. Who knows when would they appear nearby once more?
During these few days, not only did the three girls have to head out to find food and water, they had to take care of the unconscious Ye Zhongming which slowed down their running speed. Wang Zhen and the others were unhappy and even suggested ditching him. After they got rejected, they started to eye the treasures.
Mo Ye was colleagues with them and they saved her life so she couldn’t fight with them. But Liang Chuyin had a bad temper and was someone who protected Ye Zhongming to the extreme. She was annoyed with them and had numerous conflicts with them. If not for Mo Ye and Xia Lei helping, they would have fought.
Wang Zhen and his men had guns. Although Liang Chuyin was evolved but she wasn’t professionally trained so they weren’t afraid of her. Along with Mo Ye there, Park Xiuying being kind, Cheng Ze not taking a stand, they got more and more arrogant.
Ye Zhongming waking up shocked those people. After gathering here and seeing the leader of these few people look so sickly, their worries disappeared.
Thus, these people who were originally afraid of this level one mutated dog started to be greedy after seeing the metal.
“Brother since you are awake then we should talk about compensation.”
Wang Zhen didn’t sit down. He crossed his arms and sized Ye Zhongming up. He knew that his actions would give people pressure which he hoped would give him the upper hand in the discussions.
Ye Zhongming laughed when he looked at the bald man.
“Say then.”
Wang Zhen scoffed, “When you were blocked by Wang Ding, I brought my men to save you. That is real right?”
Ye Zhongming looked at Mo Ye and she nodded.
Although the injured Chen Long sacrificed himself to buy them time, but they couldn’t deny that Wang Zhen’s men helped and chased Wang Ding away.
“During these few days, we went out to get food and water. We killed zombies and mutated monsters as well as fought with Old Ye and Wang Ding. We didn’t retreat at all right?”
“You didn’t but you just didn’t do anything dangerous or dirty.” Liang Chuyin was annoyed so she mocked him. n0veluSB.C0m
“Little bitch shut up, this is not a place for you to talk.”
Wang Zhen pointed at Liang Chuyin and scolded, “If not for Mo Ye I would have killed you. You know what the situation is outside, I will kill you like a toy.”
“You...” Liang Chuyin couldn’t take it. She held her whip and wanted to attack but Ye Zhongming stopped her.
Seeing Wang Zhen look over arrogantly, Ye Zhongming’s eyes flashed.
“So brother, I saved your life many times so I should be able to get some payment right.”
Ye Zhongming nodded, “Sure.”
Wang Zhen’s eyes lit up, “I know that you got many good things from Pearl Lake. Why not we split them as payment?”
It has been a week into the apocalypse and anyone who spent time outside would know the existence of the gachapons as well as evolved people. Wang Zhen and the others weren’t an exception.
They didn’t bump into a wheel, even if they did, they didn’t have the courage to fight zombies to get the crystals. Thus, the treasures that Mo Ye got were their only hope.
“Where are the things?” Ye Zhongming asked Mo Ye.
She took out a box and passed it to Ye Zhongming. After opening it, there were two things.
Mo Ye got three things that day. The trio got one, Wang Ding got two. The rest were lost during the chaos.
Three items but there were only two here. Facing Ye Zhongming’s questioning gaze, Mo Ye looked awkwardly at her teacher.
Cheng Ze took a card out from his pocket and shook it but he didn’t look like he wanted to pass it over.
Ye Zhongming took a deep look and then held the two things in the box.
The first was a recipe scroll. Ye Zhongming opened it and there was the word recipe on it: Long distance potion (Chemist specific), after use, increase stamina for two hours, the buff is related to chemist level and material level.
